Utah’s One Thing: Jeff Dillon, Musician

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Jeff Dillon, local Utah musician, sat down with us for episode 164. Jeff told us that the one thing that he would tell someone visiting that they had to do depends on a couple factors. He said that he has buddies coming through town all the time, you know other fancy musicians, and he takes them to places like the Olympic Park (open year round), to the Great Salt Lake to “see how shitty it is,” to the Heavy Metal Shop, the Pie Hole, and to dive bars! Jeff said he likes to take people to bars to show them our bizarre Utah laws!!

Of Course besides visiting his chocolate shop in the Avenues… Stephen Hatch, of Hatch Family Chocolates and Your Cre8tivity Podcast, said in episode 54 he is tired of people that think Utah is boring. He loves our locally owned restaurants and said to head to Garage on Beck! Southern Food and live music. There is nothing possibly wrong with that. Also learn that not everyone fits a stereotype and so there is something for everyone.
